Goodreads asked Mark Wilson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Mark Wilson Write about something you love and know well. In my life, I present live owl programs with my wife Marcia. We introduce thousands of people a year (many of them students) to their wild owl "neighbors". So it was a natural fit for me to write an owl book for kids. I'm also a wildlife photojournalist so I illustrated my book with owl photos I made over the last 30 plus years. If you can write and illustrate your book with high quality photos or artwork, you'll have a definite edge in getting a publisher interested in your book.
